“When you’re competing at the executive level, everyone is qualified. What separates you is who you genuinely are.” - Teegan Bartos Your network is your net worth, but only if people truly understand who you are and what you stand for. It’s no longer enough to look good on paper. Titles, resumes, and credentials may open doors, but they don’t build trust or lasting influence. Legacy is built through visibility and authenticity. Share your journey. Show your impact. Let people see the results you’re driving. Not just within your organization, but in the broader community around you. Because if people can’t see what you’re building, they can’t be part of it. And if they can’t understand your value, they can’t advocate for it. Your brand isn’t what you say it is, it’s what others consistently experience and recognize. Make it visible. Make it real.
